Chapter 245 Hot Girl Poster
What does war bring?
Just look at the two senior students in front of you, who are clearly not that old.
Lockhart had thought Lupin was already quite颓废 and weathered, but compared to Sirius, he surprisingly appeared somewhat young, energetic, gentle, and composed.
In his thirties, he seemed to have seen it all, only to return with a broken heart.
Lockhart didn't join the two guys catching up; instead, he took his apprentice Percy aside to continue their private lessons.
Since last year, he has been teaching and practicing the unified theory of "Fairy Tale Adventure," and now he needs to start teaching each member of the Duel Club according to their individual characteristics.
It was through these "advanced lessons" of teaching and discussion that Lockhart came to understand why fate had brought Percy to become one of his two great apprentices.
He himself was also surprised that Percy was probably the apprentice who best fit the theory of "fairy tale adventure".
"You'll graduate in six months. Now that you've chosen your future path and decided to run the 'Quidditch Duel Club,' I'll take you to see more powerful forces."
Lockhart earnestly discussed the magic and reality within this story with Percy.
From a magical perspective, greater social interaction will lead to a richer "wizard life," and this will also bring more challenges, which is undoubtedly the "adventure life."
Accept it, embrace the challenge, and then look forward to the magic unfolding naturally.
This is the biggest difference between "living a life of petty scheming" and "entering a fairytale adventure".
"Never forget the importance of magic!"
Lockhart cautioned, "I know you'll feel pressured, and you might choose to compromise to overcome difficulties, but remember, when trouble arises, think of magic first!"
Percy is a very intelligent person, but sometimes he just can't see things clearly.
"I think I already covered the subject of social skills when I taught you 'Blood Magic'—" Lockhart glanced back at Lupin and Sirius in the distance and whispered a reminder, "Never forget that you are a member of the Weasley family. Some people forget this and then suffer the consequences. Don't follow their example!"
Percy's expression turned strange.
He was clearly troubled by this, and lowered his voice to say softly, "My mother really wants me to get into the Ministry of Magic, and I've worked hard for it, but I haven't told her that even though I've achieved good grades, it's still very difficult for me to get into the Ministry of Magic."
This difficulty stemmed from his background, the Weasley family.
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is not just an ivory tower; it is a small wizarding society. Percy's hostility towards the Slytherins at school is actually a microcosm of the difficulties he faced in entering the Ministry of Magic.
"I have investigated the cases of outstanding students in the school in the past. In theory, with my grades, I should have been able to participate in the activities of many departments before graduation. But I can feel that some obstacles are holding me back."
Percy never boasted in front of Professor Lockhart, because the professor required him to be realistic about his own position and to accurately describe his situation, rather than making up some empty words.
"The Weasley family is ostracized by all the other 'Holy Twenty-Eight Pureblood Families,' Minister Fudge and Lieutenant Umbridge are very wary of me, and even Scrinker in the Auror office doesn't like me."
He was very distressed.
"I know it's because the Weasleys betrayed the pure-blood family, and we embraced Muggles, becoming known as 'scum who tarnish the bloodline.' But strangely, even those who wave the pro-Muggle flag don't seem to accept me."
Percy had previously believed that Minister Fudge was in cahoots.
Once, when he went to the Ministry of Magic with his father to handle some procedures, he saw Minister Fudge run over to greet them warmly, in a very friendly and enthusiastic way.
But when he wrote to Minister Fudge, hoping to make a difference in the Ministry of Magic as a student, he was always met with various excuses.
Lockhart chuckled. "So you really are 'scum of the dirty bloodline'? Percy, tell me, which member of your family has Muggle blood?"
Percy looked back carefully and suddenly gasped.
perhaps·.-
seemingly·
The Weasley family, who are constantly referred to as "traitors to the bloodline," seem to have always maintained the most traditional strategy of endogamy among pure-blood wizards.
Percy's mother, Molly Weasley, is from House Pewter, one of the Twenty-Eight Holy Pure-Blood Families.
Looking further up, every wizard in the family tree seems to be of pure blood.
In fact, that's not all. Lockhart knew that of the seven Weasley descendants, only Ron seemed to have married a Muggle wizard.
"This world is so complicated, Percy."
Lockhart didn't want to talk too much about the Weasley family. After all, he wasn't a member of the Weasley family himself, and he only speculated about many things from an outsider's perspective. What he knew wasn't the truth. If Percy wanted to, he could think about it himself or ask his father Arthur. In the end, he would come to his own answer.
"This is what I mean by 'sociality.' You have to find your place, which helps you better understand how to face the 'adventures' that life presents."
At this point, Lockhart patted the apprentice on the shoulder with great pride, "Of course, never forget one thing: besides being a member of the Weasley family, you are also my student, Gilderoy Lockhart!"
Percy's expression was serious. "I will not let your honor be disgraced!"
Lohat nodded, extremely satisfied with Percy before him. "Remember this: whether your Quidditch Duel Club is for gaining more social status or, as some say, for cultivating a so-called 'wizard army' in this tense situation—"
His gaze was intense. "You must understand, all of this is not about gaining status, but about enriching your social life, about giving you more opportunities to access more powerful magic. The future of a wizard is always magic!"
As long as the foundation is not crooked, everything will be straightened.
Because of the magical power of blood ties and love, Percy will not abandon his family; because of his adherence to magic, Percy will not stray from the wizarding world for personal gain. Ultimately, it is a world where all great powers converge, and magic is the foundation.
If you forget this, no matter how great Percy's achievements are, he will only become a second Fudge.
Fudge, whom everyone looked down upon.
Just as the master and apprentice were having a heart-to-heart talk, an argument suddenly broke out in the distance, causing them to both look in the direction of Sirius and Lupin.
Then their expressions started to look strange.
Lockhart tried his best to keep a straight face and not laugh.
What did he see?!
Merlin's openwork trousers are so interesting!
He saw the house-elf Kreacher pointing his finger at Sirius and yelling at him like he was a grandson, but Sirius just clenched his fists and didn't fight back, just sitting there panting heavily.
rare.
This is incredibly rare!
"From this day forward, you are no longer Sirius Black! You are now my master! You are the only male heir of the Black family, and you must shoulder the family's responsibilities. You must be accountable to the Black family, or you will be expelled from the Black family!"
Kreacher, who had somehow found a butler's suit that fit the body of a house-elf, dressed himself up so neatly and efficiently that he was unrecognizable from his previous "resentful woman" appearance.
His expression was very serious.
"Master! According to the rules of the Black family, you must cooperate with my arrangements and select a suitable woman for you to continue the family bloodline!"
"This is the first step in restoring the family's glory. Without a matriarch and without offspring, you don't deserve any respect from me!"
"You can't order me not to stick to this. It's a rule of the Black family, a rule that takes precedence over your orders as their master!"
Kreacher shook the long list he had dragged on the ground, looked carefully at the names on it, and then looked up at Sirius with a scrutinizing gaze.
"If you betray the family in this matter, it means the family's continuation will be cut off in your hands, leading to the complete demise of the family. I have the right to expel you from the family again!"
"And then kick you out of this house!"
"Don't think Dumbledore can help you. I'll have the Ministry of Magic handle the expulsion!"
Sirius turned to Lupin in despair for help, but Lupin just stared curiously out the window, as if something strange was happening there.
The scene before them was so incredible that Lockhart and Percy were completely stunned.
Percy asked in a low voice, somewhat curious, "I used to think house-elves were just slaves. Do they really have these rights?"
Lockhart shrugged. "I don't know everything."
But one thing is certain: Kreacher's loyalty was to the Black family, not to Sirius Black, the only male member of the Black family. There is actually a misalignment here.
So funny.
He never expected that there would be such interesting rules within the ancient pure-blood family.
Wow, the house-elves are pressuring Sirius to get married and sending him on blind dates. This is definitely worth the fun.
"Damn it, you damn bastard, what right do you have to make me do this kind of thing!" Sirius looked like he was about to explode.
Kreacher ignored her completely, only looking down at the list in his hand and reading aloud, "Tessaya Ollivander, five years older than you,"
Born into the Ollivander family, one of the Twenty-Eight Holy Pure-Blood Families, divorced but childless.
"Gwyneth Slughorn, four years younger than you, is from the Slughorn family, one of the twenty-eight holy pure-blood families, and is unmarried..."
Sirius Black finally snapped. He lunged forward, snatched the list from Kreacher's hand, and tore it to shreds. He roared at Kreacher, "What a load of rubbish about the Twenty-Eight Holy Pureblood Families! There's never been a holy bloodline in this world! What do you know?!"
Kreacher simply looked at him indifferently. "These are the families I've chosen for you that haven't shown any inclination to side with the Dark Lord."
I've really tried my best to take care of Sirius's feelings, and I've really tried my best to make this happen.
It's a dim-witted house-elf, an old house-elf who could die of old age at any moment—it's not easy for it.
"Get out!" Sirius roared.
Kreacher sniffed, thought for a moment, and then disappeared with a whoosh.
"Shit, shit! I'm going to tell Dumbledore to go somewhere else. He shouldn't have chosen this place. It's full of bad luck, and I don't want to stay here for another second!" Sirius cursed.
Lupin sighed beside him, "Brother, I advise you not to do this. Even if you can't prove your worth, don't cause Dumbledore any further trouble."
"Value?" Sirius's voice rose considerably.
Lupin looked at him silently for a moment, then sighed. "Brother, can you stop being so self-centered? Dumbledore certainly doesn't demand value from you, but what about the rest of the Order of the Phoenix? Everyone's watching!"
Sirius fell silent, looking at the fragments on the ground with a complicated expression.
Lupin simply stared intently at Sirius, though he sometimes had strange thoughts, wondering if Sirius might also have feelings for Lily, or...
I like LeBron James.
Some things are really hard to say.
He just hoped his brother could mature a bit, after everything he'd been through. "Think about your godson, James and Lily's child,"
Harry, he's waiting for you to take care of him. Do you really want to lose Harry?
Sirius's face tensed up, and his furious expression turned somewhat powerless.
"Harry was very unhappy at his aunt and uncle's house. Although he had clothes to wear, food to eat, and was sent to school, he never felt loved. The Dursleys were willing to take on the responsibility of raising him, but they didn't like him at all—"
"Sirius, you can't let everyone down again."
Lupin's expression was so serious and earnest.
Sirius Black finally gave in. He had never compromised in his life, but at this moment he did.
Once a person has a weakness, they can no longer be invincible.
The unruly Sirius Black could never give up on Harry, and thus turned from a wolf into a dog.
Boom!
A loud bang.
Kreacher reappeared before him.
Sirius opened his mouth, looking dejected, as if to say that he didn't care if he was assigned any woman.
But then Kreacher was holding up some Muggle posters (similar to brochures) featuring women in swimsuits. The women in the pictures were all hot, and one of them even had one foot on a motorcycle, looking incredibly wild.
Sirius's eyes widened instantly.
His face turned red, and he couldn't hold back any longer. He roared and was about to pounce, but Lu Ping anticipated his move and caught him once again.
"You damned monster!" Sirius roared, "Who let you into my room?!"
P.S.: The Muggle swimsuit posters on Sirius's room are from the original book.
Kreacher, however, seemed unconcerned, simply holding up the poster and looking at Sirius. "For the sake of the family's continuation, Kreacher is willing to compromise. If you prefer Muggles, I can contact other house-elves to inquire about suitable Muggle women from Muggle wizarding families. I know that Muggle women who have been exposed to the magical world would be even more drawn to—"
Before it could finish speaking, Sirius, who had forcefully broken free from Lupin, was sent flying.
The poster of a sexy swimsuit-clad woman fluttered in the wind and eventually fell to the ground.
Sirius was so ashamed and angry that he dared not look at the people around him.
Lupin, with a strange expression, helped Kreacher up, and together with Lockhart and Percy, who had curiously gathered around, they looked at the posters.
"Wow~~~" X3.
Sirius wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground!
Damn!
Damn Kreacher!
Damn my youthful, dissolute life!
For a moment, the air was filled with a deathly silence, eerily quiet.
Just as everyone was awkwardly at a loss for words, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Professor McGonagall's voice came from outside, "Potter, this is Sirius's house."
Sirius Black pounced on Kreacher, grabbed the poster from the ground, stuffed it haphazardly into his coat pocket, and glared fiercely at him. "Shut your mouth, understand?"
Kreacher simply stared at him indifferently. "Kreacher is just doing what he's supposed to do!"
"Damn it, damn it!!!" Sirius, hearing the increasingly urgent voices outside the door, finally softened. "I promise you, okay? Just don't mention this in front of anyone else, especially Dumbledore, understand?!"
Kreacher finally smiled and bowed respectfully to Sirius, "Yes, my master."
Sirius muttered angrily, "I'd rather not be your master! Humph!"
